The
new character posters for Columbia Pictures' new suspense thriller
“Money Monster,” have just been released, and they are
interesting to look at.

By
cutting the characters' faces in unexpected ways, the one-sheets have
conveyed the chaos and tension of the story, and at the same time,
echoed the visual disturbance of analog-era TV sets. The movie is
about a TV show held hostage by a viewer, after all.

Directed
by Jodie Foster, the film stars George Clooney, Julia Roberts and
Jack O’Connell (“300: Rise of an Empire,” “Unbroken”).
“Money Monster” has also been announced as an official selection
of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival where it will premiere next month.

In
the taut and tense thriller “Money Monster,” Lee Gates (Clooney)
is a bombastic TV personality whose popular financial network show
has made him the money wiz of Wall Street. But after he hawks a high
tech stock that mysteriously crashes, an irate investor (O’Connell)
takes Gates, his crew, and his ace producer Patty Fenn (Roberts)
hostage live on air. Unfolding in real time, Gates and Fenn must find
a way to keep themselves alive while simultaneously uncovering the
truth behind a tangle of big money lies.

The
film also stars Dominic West, Giancarlo Esposito and Caitriona Balfe,
while the producers are Daniel Dubiecki, Lara Alameddine, George
Clooney and Grant Heslov.

Opening
across the Philippines in May 25, 2016, “Money Monster” is
distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures
Releasing International.
